[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 632692, member: 3419"] He was SO excited! On his own, he decided to wear tan khakis, a belt, a pale blue dress shirt, wash off his grass-stained shoes, and shave. On the way over there, since I had suggested going early and eating, he said he didn't think it was professional to be eating before or during so he would wait. Good call. (I did give him a clonidine though.) We got to McDonalds and his girlfriend and I ordered food and we got him a Sprite. I have never seen so many teen boys in dress shirts in my life, lol! It must have been end-of-summer interviewing day! While he was being interviewed and his girlfriend and I were eating, two friends showed up and sat down. He finished quickly and I slid over and said, "Have a seat." He said no thanks, I'm going with my friends. Really? I said I could drive him somewhere. Nope. A half hr later, he calls and asks me to drive to Taco Bell to buy three crunchy steak tacos. What? I said we were just at McDonalds and you chose not to eat there. I'm busy. Figure it out yourself. He said no one was specific about eating at McDonald's. He thought when I slid over, it was just to offer a seat, but not food. I told him I wasn't falling for that. He threatened to use his new debit card to buy food. He's cutting off his nose to spite his face--that money is being saved for a car, gas and insurance. He argued and argued and I said you had your chance and then I hung up. GAH! I have no idea if the interview went well, except that he said he has to give them his Soc Sec card. [/QUOTE]
